Mountain Pond

Mountain Pond is a small, narrow lake, located along Old Route 30, just 2 miles north of Paul Smiths. Offers 6-roadside camping spots, along with a secluded, lesser used pond, near Barnum Pond and Osgood Pond.

From Southern End of Mountain Pond

This is looking from Campsite 1 at the Southern End of Mountain Pond, looking North. Old NY 30 winds right along the shore of NY 30, the New Routing is about a 1/2 mile away for NY 30.

Making Up Blueberry Cake Mix

Here I'm the Blueberry Cake Mix, and getting ready to add the Blueberries I picked up at Moose River Plains. Should be real good.

Campsite No 1

This is campsite No 1 at Mountain Pond. It was never used on the Saturday Night I was there, but it looks nice, if not a bit small.

View from Campsite 1

Here my kayak is parked at Campsite 1, where I got out for a stretch. Looking south at this rather spectacular looking lake on a great day. The lake winds back and forth, for about a mile.

Many Downed Trees

There where many downed trees that had fallen into the lake, from the often steep eastern edge of mountain pond. Campsites are on the other side of the lake, and they all where in good shape.

Mountain

This is the Mountain at Mountain Pond. It's not much more then a hill, because Jenkins Mountain has largely petered out before reaching here, but it's still a lot higher then surrounding elevation.
